Terror hero: I didn't hesitate

[jamesrage]

This is who the media should be talking about. Not some piece of **** subhuman garbage that tried to murder innocent people.


Passenger details fight to stop alleged terrorist - NYPOST.com

A Dutch airline passenger told The Post how he leapt into action when an alleged Muslim terrorist tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner packed with 300 people just moments before landing.

Chaos erupted as alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, 23, tried to set off a sophisticated explosive device strapped to his body.
"Suddenly, we hear a bang. It sounded like a firecracker went off," said Jasper Schuringa, a film director who was traveling to the US to visit friends.

"When [it] went off, everybody panicked ... Then someone screamed, ‘Fire! Fire!’"

Schuringa, sitting in seat 20J, in the right-most section of the Airbus 330, looked to his left. "I saw smoke rising from a seat ... I didn’t hesitate. I just jumped," he said.

Schuringa dove over four passengers to reach Abdul Mutallab’s seat. The suspect had a blanket on his lap. "It was smoking and there were flames coming from beneath his legs."

"I searched on his body parts and he had his pants open. He had something strapped to his legs."

The unassuming hero ripped the flaming, molten object — which resembled a small, white shampoo bottle — off Abdul Mutallab’s left leg, near his crotch. He said he put out the fire with his bare hands.

Let's just hope this heroes injuries quickly heal. He put himself at great risk and it would be nice to see the press follow up on him.

See like I've always said, give every passenger a box cutter when they board. They'll turn terrorists into sliced bologna. Then collect the box cutters as they disembark.

America, **** Yeah [/thread]

**** box cutters. Give them baseball bats.

America, **** Yeah [/thread]

(It's really a "Holland, **** Ja!" thread)

Once the euphoria of the moment passes, I wonder how long it will take for them to press charges against the passenger that came to the rescue.

My local news just showed a brief clip from a interview with Schuringa. He looks healthy with only a bandaged right hand.

God bless this kick a** Dutchman. Well done. The fact is the terrorist may have only sat there and suffered in pain with a device that wasn't going to work correctly. But Mr. Schuringa proved to be a leader just the same.

Somebody ignites a bomb in a plane up in the air and you are a passenger.....Who isn't going to go flying over the seats to reach his throat.

In these times there is a wonder that the passengers don't become like sharks in a freeding frenzy. Up 30,000 feet up in the air there is no playing around. I hate heights and even worst I hate falling from heights.

Am sorry if this guy has any mental problems but in a situation like that I am going to hurt him seriously.

Someone will want to ue him, like what happened with the Flying Immams. The guy's probably going to claim he was trying to light a cigarette, dropped his lighter and set his pants on fire.

This dude should receive every kind of possible award for this brave act.
There's no telling what kind of crisis he has prevented by acting so quickly.

 

[American]

Obama could give him a Medal of Freedom.

Except smoking is banned on all flights.

So are bombs. But, if you're looking at going to prison for the rest of your life you'll prbably try anything.

I think this sentiment is going to be more and more prevalent. People are tired of the **** and are going to start acting, instead of sitting idly by.

Good for people who are not afraid to stand up and do something!

Brilliant plan. :sarcasticclap

Isn't it refreshing when a hero stands up and says, "I'm a hero!" instead of the usual "Oh, I didn't do what anything anybody else wouldn't have done."

I don't think air passengers will sit by idle anymore after 9/11. It's about time we stood up to these vermin and squash them like a roach.

Hope I'm never in that situation but if I am I don't intend to sit on my hands either.

I hope this guy gets rewarded well for his bravery.

Um...

"I don’t feel like a hero," Schuringa told the Post as he recuperated with pals. "It was something that came completely natural ... It was something where I had to do something or it was too late."

There's a lot of the New York Parrot Cage Liner calling him a hero, but, doesn't look like he grabbed the title for himself.

After 9/11, passengers are going to automatically assume that the hi-jackers are on a suicide mission and are going to fight back.

Believe it, or not, there's a brigh side. The 9/11 crew ****ed it up for your garden variety, political statement, release my oppressed brothers from your political prison hi-jacker, forever.

We talking about the same guy? The one I saw interviewed on TV wasn't modest about being a hero at all. Had a bandage on his left hand? If we are talking about the same dude, looks like he eventually took the "aw-shucks" approach and is trying the modest thing out after all.

We need a media/press quality to match or at least come close that of our hero.
He must be given a bravery medal , of the highest order.

And it matters not one iota whether he is modest or immodest.. He still performed as a man should.

Aw, thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I apparently missed that bit.

Three cheers for the Flying Dutchman! However if I heard correctly on one news report he climbed over three seats? Sitting in a plane on the way home I just don't see how that's possible with only about 20 inches of clearance above the seats and people in the seats. It must have been a little different than that.

And don't forget it's Obama's fault. :rofl What ridiculous tripe. :roll:
